Logitech controlla la play 3

[otimov]

la ps3 utilizza un suo telecomando SONY bluetooth (acquistabile a parte)
Se si ha intenzione di pilotare la ps3 con un telecomando universale, c'e' bisogno di questa chiaveta usb che converte i segnali IR (non BT) e li invia al sistema.
La chiavetta si vende insieme ad un telecomando.
Quindi se si vuole comandare la ps3 con i telecomandi logitech, devi (ironia della sorte) acquistare un altro telecomando (quello con la chiave usb) e buttarlo nel secchio (conservando solo la chiavetta Usb).
La grossa limitazione (a mio parere) e' che, siccome le porte usb non sono alimentate in standby, bisogna accendere o spegnere la ps3 a manina.....e tutte le automatizzazioni dei logitech (attivita') vanno in malora. Molti dicono che comunque bisogna sempre inserire un dvd o Br quindi e' necessario alzarsi dal divano....e a quel punto accendere la play non sarebbe eccessivamente penoso....
la triste notizia e che sicuramente usciranno telecomadi universali IR/BT
che renderanno tutti i logitech...vecchi e difficilmente rivendibili....

la filosofia dei telecomandi universali, non riguarda solo i comandi blutooth.
di fatti se pensiamo all'utilizzo vero di un telecomando universale dobbiamo pensare che tutti i prodotti telecomandabili funzionano tramite ir. se poi questi si trovano in zone remote, per logitech (ma anche per gli altri) esiste un estensore rf (il logitech puo' trasmettere in rf) che lo rende assolutamente completo. scusate l o.t.

appena infili il disco, la play si accende da se, quindi la macro non serve piu'

e cmq la macro per lo "spegnimento" funzionerebbe

... e nessuno ha mai provato a collegare il ricevitore IR ad un hub alimentato? magari "vede" il segnale e accende la PS3...

ottima idea..... devo provare....

Ho letto questo forum e ho deciso di acquistare anch'io un telecomando con adattatore USB-Ir per comandare la PS3 con un telecomando Logitech (o di altra marca).
Però non ho ancora acquistato il telecomando universale da utilizzare e vorrei sapere se qualcuno a provato con altri telecomandi che non siano il Logitech 1000.
Quale mi consigliereste? In particolare sarei interessato al Logitech525 cosa ne pensate?
PS: Il bio budget non è elevato.
Grazie

@Lorenz
Hai provato a collegare il ricevitore IR ad un hub alimentato?
Con quali risultati?

Inoltre come hai impostato i comandi del Bigben sul Logitech 1000?
E' la stessa procedura che si può impostare su un semplice 525 e su un'altro telecomando della Logitech?

Linko velocemente...
Avete provato a valutare questa soluzione?

Scusa Sandro,

non so a che soluzione ti riferisci perchè il mio provider aziendale non mi

consente l'accesso al sito, puoi postare il testo diversamente?

Setting Up Your IR Remote for the PS3IR Device
To setup your universal remote, simply select either PS2, PS3, or a Sony DVD as the device. For Sony DVD you may need to try several DVD Models to find the correct IR code set. Important note! Even though some remotes give rather ominous warnings that the PS3 will not function with an IR remote, you can simply ignore these outdated messages. In all cases, the PS3IR devices allow your remote to work perfectly well in spite of these dire warnings by the Logitech Harmony setup program.

Finally, in the very rare instance that your remote does not support the PS2, PS3, or a Sony DVD option, you can use the pronto codes in the attached file. If you must teach your remote, you can still purchase a PS2 remote at just about any store that carries Sony products for around $10. I'd recommend just borrowing one temporarily.

Using Your PS3IR Device
If you want the wireless game controller to be controller number 1, simply turn on the PS3 using the wireless controller. In this way, the PS3IR device gets bumped up to a higher device number. This can be important since some games must be started from controller number 1.

Please see the attached key mapping file for a description of what keys are supported and how they are mapped to simulated PS3 controller button events.

Please note: There is no magic way to create additional key functionality if the corresponding action is not included as a feature of the game controller in the PS3 firmware. In short, if you can perform a function with the Sony game controller, it will likewise be supported by the PS3IR device. This means that keys such as Subtitle will not be supported. Where it makes sense, keys are mapped to game controller keys that are close to the desired functionality. For instance, most remotes support slow forward and slow back buttons. These buttons are actually mapped to the only forward and back buttons that the game controller supports. Various indexing speeds are available by pressing the button repeatedly. This is true for several buttons since the game controller tends to use a single button to toggle between modes whereas most remotes provide discrete buttons for the same functions. Fortunately, the key mapping is quite intuitive so my advice is just to start enjoying your new PS3IR device. Using it is much simpler than this explanation!

OK, there is actually one little bit of magic involved. Even though Sony only supports a power ON/OFF toggle mode, I have been able to implement discrete power On and Off commands for the PS3IR+PWR device by utilizing the schmarts of the micro-controller.

Development News
The "Home" key upgrade is done but it will not work until Sony enables the PS3IR devices in the PS3 firmware! Here is the explanation. Any PS3IR or PS3IR+PWR device shipped after 12/28/2007 includes "Home" key support in case Sony ever gets around to enabling my USB VID/PID for the home function.

I have added the discrete power commands to the PS3IR+PWR. The number '0' is sent to turn the PS3 off. Number '1' is used to turn the PS3 on. The original PS2 power code still works as a PS3 power toggle also.

The new firmware is now fully working as I intended. The response is even faster and smoother now. There were a few units shipped in the original order that had a problem with multiple keys. I will replace those units. The issue was a timing problem caused by the variation in the microprocessor clock. Those that worked have all of the enhancements, so no need to replace them.

Shipping Status
Here's the lowdown. The change over to the new high volume fulfillment team is going great but it is taking a few more days than they expected. It is a company with bureaucracy so, they spend a great deal of time in meetings and they go home for the weekend. Weird. (LOL)

As of Monday morning, they were all built and tested, and going through final QC. I had to sign off on them. They were printing shipping labels and boxing them up when I left their site. The domestic orders are going out UPS ground (my treat!) and the international orders are going out USPS. I'm pretty sure their system will be sending out the tracking numbers since I gave them your email along with the address. But, since all of this was done manually (all 300+ orders), it may not be possible this time. We'll see.

All orders through invoice #00001989 will go out in the next two days. (I'm giving them some more wiggle room).

Any orders after #00001989 will be filled in the next batch sometime next week. At that point there should be units in stock and we will be shipping next day again (I hope). But the volume is increasing so, there may be a few more hiccups in the order fulfillment process while I ramp up the volume further. It's all good.

I appreciate everyone hanging in there. I can't wait to get back to developing the next products instead of just filling orders.

Other News
As far as the website goes, it's not going fast. I hired a professional website development company this time but, the resulting web site was not looking good at all. So, I fired them and bought an eCommerce template to build one myself with Adobe CS3. I'm about 3/4 way through heavily modifying it at this point. The actual payment page will be hosted and secured by PayPal. This method supports multiple languages and has support for all those wacky international address formats and postal codes. You will be able to pay with credit card or PayPal.

ciao scusa il itardo ma non ho avuto tempo per rispondere...
non ho ancora provato ad usare un hub alimentato, mentre per i comandi ho creato un'attivita guarda dvd e i comandi li ho sostituiti uno a uno con quelli del bigben. io uso un mille ma con gli altri e' la stessa cosa....
ciao ciao

[H.D. Lion]

I comandi li ho sostituiti uno a uno con quelli del bigben.

Quindi hai usato la funzione di autoapprendimento del telecomando mettendo i telecomandi uno vicino all'altro?
